The Pearl Jam museum and pics from PJ20

While local crowds packed The Gorge for Dave Matthews Band and Bumbershoot at the Seattle Center, thousands of fans made the trek to East Troy, Wis., where Pearl Jam put on a two-day festival – the PJ20 Destination Weekend.

The sets had several guests, including Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog. On both nights, he and Pearl Jam performed “Hunger Strike” and other songs from Temple of the Dog – the Seattle band formed in 1990 as a tribute to Andrew Wood.

Also performing at PJ20 were The Strokes, Mudhoney, Queens of the Stone Age, Liam Finn, Glen Hansard, John Doe, Joseph Arthur, thenewno2, David Garza, Jason Lytle, The Young Evils, and Star Anna, a rising star who was first discovered busking outside an Ellensburg cafe at age 16.

One of the biggest draws PJ20 was the Pearl Jam museum, which included dozens of items shipped from the band’s Seattle warehouse. Near the end were the white letters used for the cover art of the band’s first release, “Ten.” The letters – created before Photoshop was used for making album covers – usually stay with the band members who keep specific letters, according to tour staff.

A photo tour of some of the items is above. Photos of Pearl Jam at PJ20 are below.
